National No Smoking Day - AMs meet `Wales¿ biggest killer¿

On Wednesday 11th March Welsh Assembly Members were photographed with Wales’ Biggest Killer as part of National No Smoking Day.

Cancer Research UK, ASH Wales, Tenovus and the British Heart Foundation met with Assembly Members to call on the Welsh Assembly Government to develop a tobacco strategy. Each month 500 people die from smoking-related diseases in Wales.

As a member of the Welsh Tobacco Control Alliance, we are calling for measures which will strengthen community action for tobacco control, ensure access for all smokers to effective and equitable cessation services and products. We are also encouraging people to go smoke free in their own homes, and for greater investment in training, research and monitoring.
